Her career spans waste management, water quality, climate policy, and sustainable agriculture. She has worked with government agencies, multilateral donors, and civil society partners, contributing to national projects like Grenada’s National Determined Contributions (NDC), National Ecosystem Assessment, and Climate Change Adaptation Plans.
As CEO of GrenadaGrows, she leads a growing team focused on turning organic waste into rich, regenerative soil products—while advancing soil health education, farmer support, and circular economy solutions across the Caribbean.
